Mom and Dad have been here since Friday afternoon. Here they are from last night. Dad is watching the Cubs game and Mom is perusing our copy of Cooks Illustrated.

Fort Snelling

We visited Fort Snelling today with Mom and Dad. I don't know why it took me so long to get there-- we've driven past the fort many times.

It turns out that they do historic re-enactments there and I will just mention that there are some very, very hot men who are re-enacting history. The shopkeeper, Snelling himself, one of the blacksmiths, and the carpenter, just to name a few.

Beyond and including the hot men, it was definitely worthwhile.
